Another look.

Glen came over and we did some astronomy last night. Technically it was "suck-hole astronomy" what with the clouds and all. It's called suck-hole because you hope for a hole in the clouds and either they call it suck-hole because it sucks or because you try and suck some starlight through the lens.



Mostly we just geeked out with our telescopes. We even admired how well we had aligned them. Yeah I know, shut up.

Yes I took a photo of the eyepiece of my telescope. It came out rather nicely:

Megan and William joined us and then the clouds really rolled in. We ended up sitting around the driveway talking and calling out the occasional star. There was not even time to move the scopes to point at anything by then. Still it was a very fun evening.
